About Nicholle
I'm a certified veterinary technician. I live with my husband and three children in Idaho. We own several horses and our cardigan corgis Maple, Olive, Clover, and Kirby. We are excited about introducing people to this amazing breed of dog that excel as working and family dogs.
What makes Nicholle’s program special
Puppies are raised in my home, we do ENS training from day 3 - 16. They are raised around my children, horses, cats, and other dogs. Once their eyes and ears open I play a loop of country music, thunder storms, and fireworks noises to introduce them to sounds that typically scare dogs. My parent dogs are health tested to ensure the puppies are free from any genetic health conditions.

Why Nicholle started breeding
I love the breed and want more people to know about them. Everyone is familiar with Pembroke corgis, but not many know of Cardigans. I fell in love with the breed after getting my first cardigan, Maple. She is an incredible dog and absolutely fantastic with my children. I wanted to introduce more people to the breed.
